@bikerheart Right you are! That photo of Xena dressed as a samurai warrior was taken from the episode (season 6 I believe) in which Xena and Gabrielle journeyed to Japan. I believe their goal was to save a royal princess from assassination.
@skamaid The instrument playing the background music is called a simisan, which is a Japanese mandolin. The music is "Sakura", the cherry blossum song, and is a very popular folk tune in Japan.
@Ice9joesatriani The picture is from an exhibition put on by the Japanese branch of the Society For Creative Anachronism. But, the warrior woman is costumed to look like Tomoe Gozen, the famous Japanese female samurai.
@Askar590 I haven't been able to find a good artwork depicting Tomiris, but if I do, I'll include it in my video. If you know a gallery that has one, please let me know.
@EarthDaze Hi, yes, Mulan was a female warrior. According to Chinese legend, she took the place of her ailing father and dressed as a male warrior. She fought bravely and was honored by the Emporer. Check Wikepedia for her legend.
wasn't the 1st one xena?

I believe, if I am not mistaken, that the Japanese warrior woman at 4:48 was Tomoe Gozen of the Legendary Beautiful Samurai

Is "Xena" an Asian woman warrior? This is some stupid shit; jack off material for geeks.

@zoznack Xena did several episodes set both in China and Japan. This video has one photo of her dressed as a Samurai warrior.
